CONFORMITY

-

Spiritually, conformity takes on a profound dimension as it transcends mere adherence to external norms or societal expectations. It is a transformative journey towards aligning yourself with the spiritual archetype of the firstborn Son of God. This divine figure represents the harmonious fusion of the divine and the human—the prototype for the replication of this union on a grand scale.

The firstborn Son of God stands as the epitome of a God-man, embodying the perfect synthesis of divinity and humanity. This archetype serves as the blueprint for the mass reproduction of believers of Christ like you who, through spiritual growth and alignment, reflect the fullness of this divine-human image.

 In this spiritual context, conformity is not a rigid adherence to external standards but a dynamic process of becoming conformed to the likeness of the first God-man. It involves a profound mingling of God's essence with your human nature and vice versa. This divine interweaving results in a God-man living—a life that mirrors the attributes of God manifested as human virtues.

 The purpose of this conformity is not merely personal salvation but the expression of the divine glory within humanity. As you embark on your journey towards conformity, you contribute to the collective tapestry of human existence, enhancing it with the radiance of divine virtues. The ultimate goal is the consummation of this process—a maturation in the divine life that transcends earthly limitations and reflects the fullness of the divine image within you.

Therefore, spiritual conformity goes beyond surface-level compliance; it delves into the depths of one's being, seeking a profound union with the divine person of God. It is a transformative process that results in the expression of God's attributes as human virtues, ultimately contributing to the divine glory shining through the tapestry of your life.

Let it be reiterated that the essence of this concept traces back to the inception of time—the divine intention to have humanity in His image and likeness of God. Conformity to this divine image is the progressive path toward attaining the stature reflective of the divine image, a manifestation exemplified in the person of Jesus Christ. This transformative journey finds its quintessence in the embodiment of Jesus Christ, becoming the very essence that resonates as the voice of the Church. Since its inception, the function of the Church has been as the conscience, a constant reminder to believers of Christ's teachings, urging them to incorporate these principles into their daily lives. 

This spiritual conformity doesn't merely act as a reminder but also serves as a guide, constraining individuals within a sacred structural framework designed by God. It is within this framework that believers find both solace and direction, navigating their lives with a sense of purpose grounded in the divine image exemplified by Jesus Christ.

Believers are encouraged to embark on this path, where God's essence mingles with humanity, resulting in a life that mirrors divine virtues and contributes to the radiant expression of divine glory.

So beloved brethren, I implore you to embark on this transformative journey of spiritual conformity—a path towards aligning with the divine image within, embracing the dynamic process of becoming, where God's essence mingles with your humanity, resulting in a life that mirrors divine virtues.

Take a step with us, and let the divine glory shine through your life. Walk the path of spiritual conformity, reflecting the fullness of the divine image within you.
Romans 8:29, 1:4; Eph 4:14; Rev 21

An Epistle to the Church Concerning the Way of Life and Godly Appearance

-
Samuel Abiodun Ojo, a servant of Jesus Christ, called and sent for apostolic formation, the raising of sons, and the teaching of the truth of Christ, to the brethren of the ECN and  to  those who are called by the name of Christ, to the assembly that bears His testimony in this present age: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present world system, according to the will of God. To Him be glory forever. Amen.   I marvel that you are so quickly drifting from the simplicity and authority of the life you received, and are allowing yourselves to be shaped by standards that did not call you, nor give themselves for you. This turning is not unto another gospel, but unto a distortion of the life of Christ, where liberty is confused with license, and grace is separated from transformation.   Let me speak plainly, as one who labo ur s for your souls.   When you received...

The Operation of the Law of Divine Life

-
Romans 6:3-5; 8:2, 29-30; 12:2 What is the law of divine life? In its essence, life is God, and God is life. While it’s not entirely incorrect to say that the law of divine life is simply God or life itself, it’s more accurate—based on the biblical revelation—to describe it as the automatic function of the divine life. A law signifies a natural, unchanging regulation or principle. Therefore, the law of any life form is its inherent characteristic, an innate and automatic function. The higher the life, the more elevated its law. The law of divine life is the innate function of God’s life, and because God's life is the highest life, its law surpasses all others. When I first encountered the phrase "the law of life," my natural understanding led me to associate it with rules meant to curb wrong actions. This view, while not entirely incorrect, falls short of the true biblical meaning. The law of divine life is not merely a regulation to keep us from error. Instead, it is the...

Man with Spirit

-
  God, the Master Creator, crafted man with divine intentionality, forming a being unlike any other in creation. In Genesis 2:7, we find the profound narrative of humanity's genesis: "Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." Here, we witness God utilizing two distinct elements to fashion man—dust for the body and the breath of life to instill the spirit. The dust signifies our physical origin, grounding us in the earth, while the divine breath signifies our spiritual origin, awakening the innermost essence of our being. This breath, the Hebrew word neshamah , became the spirit within man, enabling the soul’s emergence as the bridge between our flesh and spirit. Man is a triune being—spirit, soul, and body (1 Thess. 5:23). The body serves as our outward organ, engaging with the tangible world, while the spirit, as our inward organ, connects us to the Divine. Between these two reside...
